Backbarrow, Cumbria

VALUE: £6.7 million

Duration: 56 weeks

Barnfield are currently on site converting a forgotten residential development, whose former owners went into liquidation before it was completed.

The 56 week project will see the current town houses split, named the North and South blocks, and refurbished into 43 apartments for open market sale. The former live/work homes will be converted into 5 social housing units.

The overflow of Lake Windermere to the rear of the properties necessitates a flood defense wall to be built to the rear of the North block.
